#### Scan/Hit Path Tab - TTP Plane Circle Strategy

Use the Scan/HitPath tab for the TTP Plane Circle strategy to:

- Display the hit points in the path (these points are highlighted on this tab)

- Display the scan path points and move points

- Insert a move point or sector end point

- Remove a point from the scan path or hit path

- Add a point from the scan path to the hit path

For example:

Sample Scan/Hit Path tab

The following items appear in the points list area:

- # - A number that identifies the generated point

- X, Y, and Z - The XYZ values

- Highlighted points - The hit points in the path

When you click on any point in the scan/hit path, PC-DMIS highlights the point on the CAD surface. For example:

Example of highlighted point on CAD surface:
Orange = Scan path point
Blue = Hit path point
Gold = Point that you clicked

To perform additional functions, right-click in the points list area. The following options appear:

Insert Sector End - To insert a sector end between scan points, select this option. As a result, PC-DMIS will create "sectors". Sector end points in the scan path are generated when the path is not continuous due to any reason.

Insert Move - To insert a move point to avoid an obstacle, select this option. Move points in the scan path can help to avoid any obstruction in the scan path. The Insert Point dialog box appears:
